Picture of the Month - Highland Gorge, 1932

2018 is going to be a big year! A major retrospective of Edwin's career will be held at the City Art Centre, Edinburgh from 4 Aug 2018 till 10 Feb 2019. The Pictures of the Month this year are illustrating each phase of his career in turn, using a few of the 60 works that will be shown in this exhibition.

This month we have one of the early watercolours that led to him being described recently as "a skilled but rather safe landscape painter" at this stage of his career. Highland Gorge was painted in February 1932, when Edwin was 20.
